Short-term Care Quality

Grade: F

This facilities grades were terrible across the board. In particular, we wanted to draw your attention to its poor short-term care grade where it received an F. Our short-term care grade is generally used to grade a nursing home's rehabilitation services. To have highly scored rehabilitation services, facilities generally need to feature better levels of highly skilled nursing services. Skilled nursing includes registered nurses, physical therapists, speech therapists and other licensed professionals. Based on its poor rating in this area, we were not stunned to learn this nursing home provided far fewer physical therapist and registered nurse hours per resident than most nursing homes. Finally, we assessed the percentage of residents who were able to return to the community from this facility. We found that just 0 percent of this nursing home's residents returned home.

Facility Inspections

Grade: F

Unfortunately, this nursing home earned an F for its inspection rating. This is a particularly important category. Grades in this range generally point to some red flags on the nursing home's government inspection reports. You should pay close attention to any deficiencies on a nursing home's inspection reports when it receives this bad of an inspection rating. We recommend you scrutinize the severity of the deficiencies. This particular nursing home was assessed 4 deficiencies by CMS. The only favorable thing we can say is that none of the deficiencies were in the categories that suggest that they caused a threat to patient safety or health. Finally, CMS flagged this nursing home for possible abuse or neglect. This is not what you want to see. We advise you to direct your search elsewhere.

Nurse Quality

Grade: F

We also wanted to point out that this nursing home received an F for its nursing grade. Our nursing score weighs several components, but the main one is the level of nurse hours per patient per week. This place provided only 0.2 hours of nursing care per resident on a daily basis. This is well below average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality measures in determining our nursing grades. This place fared well in terms of minimizing its residents' pressure ulcers and major falls. Many consider these statistics to be reliable indicators of the quality of nursing care.

Long-term Care Quality

Grade: F

The final category we graded was long-term care, where this nursing home received a rock bottom grade here as well. We gave it an abysmal F in this area, which is obviously a major disappointment. Nursing homes that do not fare well in this category often don't provide as much nursing care and also may be struggling in a few of the areas of routine personal care we assessed. One of the data points we considered on top of nursing hours was vaccines. We were a bit alarmed this nursing home provided the pneumonia vaccine to only 46.4455 percent of its residents. Surprisingly, this nursing home was actually able to limit hospitalizations. With only 0 hospitalizations per one thousand long-term resident days, this facility had fewer hospitalizations than the average nursing home. This is its best score in this category.
